Aegina is perhaps one of Greece’s best-kept open secrets; it’s a picturesque island paradise to the south of Athens, dotted with towns lined with 19th-century neoclassical buildings and iconic Greek whitewashed houses. While here, I recommend exploring the various towns and villages, strolling through their ports and village centers that are bustling with shops and restaurants. Other days, you can explore the island by renting bicycles or even on horseback. There are also museums and ancient holy sites to visit, letting you marvel at the history and heritage of the island. Come experience an idyllic Greek life together with the locals by staying at these splendid Airbnb vacation rentals in Aegina, Greece.
What’s new in Aegina:
- An ancient temple from 500 BC has been brought back to life with its new lighting installations. According to Greek Reporter, the Temple of Aphaea once again shines thanks to modern electrical lighting that was completed in November, 2025. The project was headed by Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni and was meant to be a reunion of Greece's past and present.
Upcoming events in Aegina:
- After a successful run for their first year, the Aegina Jazz Festival makes a return this July 17 and 18, 2026. Organized by the Jazz Solidarity Network, the event brings music fans together with emerging and established jazz artists from all across Greece to celebrate vibrant music and wonderful Greek heritage.
- While the Feast of Agia Marina is a religious feast day, visitors are also welcome to join the celebrations. Locals will warmly invite you to partake in food, music, and dancing to celebrate one of Aegina's liveliest summer festivals.

I do think that the ultimate stand-out of this property is the shaded veranda, where guests can relish expansive views of the entire Saronic Gulf! This lodging is only moments from the beach, charming shops, and delicious restaurants. Free WiFi, air-conditioning, a washing machine, and a bath, as well as essentials, are provided.

8. Simple apartment close to Agia Marina's beach (from USD 219)
This one-bedroom long-term rental in Aegina, Greece is simple and functional. The stone patio in the back of the lodging has a great BBQ grill and is a wonderful respite at the end of a hectic day of sightseeing. Double doors in the cozy bedroom open onto a breezy balcony that affords nice views of the town and sea. I honestly think it’s also the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast.
The locale couldn’t be better; just a 10-minute walk to town, and a five-minute walk to the beach. Agia Marina’s lovely beach offers inviting taverns and bars that are a perfect way to end your day by the water. A welcome basket of pistachios, pomegranates, lemons, and rosemary is the little touches that make this accommodation so special.

9. Calm relaxation in the house by the sea (from USD 265)
Drift off to sleep to the sounds of the ocean in this amazing, renovated one-bedroom house by the water. Situated in a tiny fishing village, this house boasts cozy furnishings, pretty decor, and an attractive indoor fireplace. To ignite passion with your sweetheart, the romantically-lit, spacious garden is the place to be when the sun goes down. You can also take a stroll 50 meters (164 feet) and be in the middle of the seaside action. I’d like to remind you that the island’s water isn’t drinkable, so you should stock up on bottled water. The closest supermarket is 3 kilometers (1.86 miles) away, however, there are several taverns in the area.
Sleeping options include a cushy double and a soft single-size bed. No TV is available but there’s WiFi, a washing machine, free parking, a well-appointed kitchen, bath essentials, bed linens, and a hairdryer supplied.

Overlooking the sparkling sea, rich pistachio fields, and a pretty village, this one-of-a-kind villa blends nicely into the ancient surroundings and is the ideal place to stay in style on Aegina. Built by an artist, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom accommodation offers breathtaking features inside and out. If you want to cook, you have your pick of two fully-loaded kitchens offering every top-notch appliance, including a citrus press and smoothie maker. If I were here, I would also enjoy the evening by savoring a bottle of wine and taking in the view of the splendid outdoor terrace. With hardwood floors, decorative built-ins, an incredible fireplace, choice furnishings, large windows for nice views, and so much more, this accommodation is a true masterpiece.
